Lev just tweeted the above links.  This is annoying, it means rebooting all 
systems with Intel CPUs for which security is important and also ongoing 
performance loss for all modern systems with Intel CPUs.

People who care about performance not security (EG gamers and people who 
mostly do compiles) could run in a less secure mode (run an old kernel or 
maybe a newer kernel patched to turn off this security feature).

I guess the lesson from this and the previous security issues is to just avoid 
Intel CPUs.  It's what Intel's CEO expects us to do.
